[img]http://imgkk.com/i/tcgn.jpg[/img] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-21410397[/url] [quote]Kenya has held its first presidential debate - between all eight candidates in next month's tightly contested poll. Millions of Kenyans watched and listened to the live debate, broadcast on 42 local radio and TV stations, as well as YouTube. Prime Minister Raila Odinga and his deputy Uhuru Kenyatta, who faces trial for crimes against humanity, are seen as the favourites in the poll. President Mwai Kibaki is stepping down after two terms in office.[/quote]

Let's hope for the best!

I didn't know the Kenyan Presidential building looked like The White House.

Odinga and Kenyatta are both pretty unpleasant dudes

Can't wait for Obama's brother to win.

Woop Woop let us hope that the best for the country gets elected in, great to see that politics are really starting to make some good progress over there.

Can Obama hold two Presidencies at once? He should give it a shot :v:

Raila Odinga? Wikipedia...? [QUOTE]Homosexuality Odinga has called for the arrest of homosexuals. In November 2010 he said "If found the homosexuals should be arrested and taken to relevant authorities". He also stated that homosexuality is unnatural and it is mad for men to fall in love with each other while there are plenty of women available.[24] Odinga retracted his statements days later, saying he only meant that same-sex marriages are illegal in Kenya.[25][/QUOTE] Oh dear

[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;39565529]Raila Odinga? Wikipedia...? Oh dear[/QUOTE] Well homosexuality is already illegal in Kenya. A liberal court could probably strike that law down as unconstitutional, but unfortunately it's also one of the most homophobic countries in the world and so it's unlikely to happen [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Kenya[/url]

Welcome to Africa one of the most screwed up places, hopefully something is done about that with these democratic elections.

lol, the 2 favorites to win suck, kenyatta is being accused for crimes against humanity in the ICC, and Odinga believes every homosexual should be arrested... :suicide: well shit, guess kenya will remain shit whoever wins.

It's nice to see another progressive nation electing a Black president.
